NativeCam on LinuxCNC 2.9.3

hey guys

also interested in trying native cam

i have a new install of the 2.93 iso.  (current release i think)

are you guys still around and checking the forum?  this is 2 months old

cheers

Yes, I'm still around...

Cheers

awesome

sorry i didn't check the notify me box so only just stumbled across this.

just getting a bit stuck working out how to download it and install.

ideally a guide would be great. or something. I can go back through the thread and try to see what i missed but any up to date info would be great

i always seem to get caught out in the little details. like i have the wrong repo or just missing a command

but i have done many retrofits so not completely useless:)

but i think i might need a tiny bit of hand holding on this one.

cheers

I have prepared and tested an installing procedure for Debian systems.
(thank you freemoore for the collaboration)
Maybe youu could be interested.

hey there

i have been trying to get your guide working 

getting a issue that stops me in my tracks

i just downloaded the latest 2.9.4 iso file.
and i am testing in a virtual machine VM

following your guide halfway through step 3

"then move the NativeCam folder in:
/usr/share/linuxcnc/gladevcp

sudo mv NativeCam /usr/share/linuxcnc/gladevcp

and this fails with the error  mv: cannot stat 'NativeCam' : No such file or directory

everything up to this stage seemed to work

would love any help you have cheers

Hello,
it seems you have not the folder to move.
Mybe you are in the wrong place.

If you list the folder by typing ls command, can you see the NativeCam folder listed?

I created a branch with a gmoccapy sample config: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commits/nativecam
to test in a RIP environment.
I added NativeCAM as a submodule from github.com/freemoore/NativeCAM, so you need to run 'git submodule update --init --recursive' for the first time to get its content.
Please let me know if it works for you as well.



 

hey Giovanni

did you use virtual box for your VM

i am about to try your guide again using virtual box and a stock standard linuxcnc iso 2.93 install

just thinking i could just grab your vm file and work back from there if you used virtual box

cheers

ey Giovanni

i had another try today getting native cam working

i have a tab now with nativecam but its blank

this time i got right through the guide you did right to the end without errors

do you have any ideas?

i want to make a video after i get this working for the next guy lol
 
cheers

Please run LinuxCNC from the command line, then we will probably see what the error is
